Important Notice about Purchasing an Annuity From Us

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who purchases certain annuity products. What this means for you: When you purchase certain annuity products from us, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

Annuities are issued by The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (VALIC), Houston, TX. Variable annuities are distributed by its affiliate, AIG Capital Services, Inc. (ACS), member FINRA.

AIG is the marketing name for the worldwide property-casualty, life and retirement, and general insurance operations of American International Group, Inc. For additional information, please visit our website at https://www.aig.com. Products and services are written or provided by subsidiaries or affiliates of American International Group, Inc. Not all products and services are available in every jurisdiction, and insurance coverage is governed by actual policy language. Certain products and services may be provided by independent third parties. Certain property-casualty coverages may be provided by a surplus lines insurer. Surplus lines insurers do not generally participate in state guaranty funds and insureds are therefore not protected by such funds.

AIG Retirement Services represents AIG member companies - The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (VALIC) and its subsidiaries, VALIC Financial Advisors, Inc. (VFA) and VALIC Retirement Services Company (VRSCO). All are members of American International Group, Inc. (AIG).

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investment values of variable products fluctuate so that investment units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
